HC Deb 13 August 1940 vol 364 cc634-5W
Captain Kimball

asked the Minister of Labour whether he appreciates the valuable addition to the country's food supply which can be obtained from venison; and will he look into the possibility of postponing the calling-up for military service of keepers and stalkers until the end of October, where their employer can prove that the services of an individual are essential by reason of his special local knowledge for the killing of the necessary number of stags on any particular estate?

Mr. Bevin

I shall be prepared to consider any proposals upon this subject which may be made to me by my right hon. Friend the Minister of Food.
